Parents need to know that this family-friendly drama, which originally aired in Canada from 2000-2002, centers on a troubled teen foster child. Although the series was positioned as a teen drama, it's definitely on the mild side (especially compared to more current shows like Gossip Girl) and has plenty of strong messages about family, friendship, and making positive choices. But it does tackle some serious subjects, like juvenile delinquency and the death of a parent.
